Christian Spicer

Christian Spicer plays video games, likes comic books, does stand up, does improv, and acts. He also graduated at the top of his law-school class and worked for one of the most prestigious law firms in the country before he quit practicing law and decided to write, do comedy, play video games, read comic books, and so on. Christian wrote for the 2012 CBS Diversity Showcase and his sketches have been featured on the front page of Reddit, Funny or Die, and on popular video-game sites Kotaku and Joystiq. He performs new sketches every month at SketchMelt and works out even more new sketches at shows like UCB’s own Not Too Shabby. He also has written pilots that people (some of whom are important industry people) seem to like.

You can hear him as a regular guest on the video-game podcast Weekend Confirmed about once a month and every week on his own podcast, Uninformed Opinions, which he co-hosts with Stewart Nacht. Christian is also the co-host of the show Double Jump (currently in production to come to viewers across the country, release and more info soon) and IMPRO(vs)TANDUP, the hit monthly show at the Los Angeles Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre (with appearances at the Chelsea, New York Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre and at festivals across the US too). It’s super fun and you should totally go.
